Hard track
Starting from the Black Rocks car park on the Coffin Track, Coffin Bay National Park, this walk takes you to the coastline of Avoid Bay and back via the Black Rocks Hike. Coffin Bay National Park is known for its remote coastal scenery, with rocky islands, windswept cliffs, sweeping beaches and tranquil bays, making it a great place for boating, fishing, sailing, scuba diving and windsurfing. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including emus, goannas and kangaroos, as well as seabirds such as albatrosses, ospreys, petrels and white-bellied sea eagles. This moderately challenging trail takes walkers through coastal mallee to the rugged coastline of Avoid Bay, with views overlooking Lake Damascus from the top of sand dunes along the way. Much of the trail can be quite sandy, and once it reaches the cliffs, the trail becomes unmarked, indistinct and quite rocky. From there, walkers can return via the same route or continue along the clifftops, with spectacular views of Black Rocks, Avoid Bay and Thorny Passage Marine Park. This walk consists of gently undulating walking trails, with some uneven natural surfaces, suitable for moderate fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
